    Gallery Walls

    20-piece photo collages on your walls have come to an end. Instead, have a bigger impact with one large photo that wows your guest. A wall full of small photos gets overlooked and fails to make an impression. This year do away with the clutter and make room for the big, impactful art.

    Industrial Kitchens

    The time for cage lights, exposed pipes, and exposed beams in the kitchen is up. Industrial kitchen looks are not the warmest and inviting place for the heart of your home. Make the switch to lush, opulent hues in the kitchen such as deep greens and blues with dark woodwork.

    Boho Accessories

    The macrame wall hangings, the waxy-faux succulents, and your Moroccan lanterns made a good run, but their time is up. If you can’t bring yourself to get rid of the gypsy soul vibe we suggest getting an authentic piece that reflects ethnic tradition, such as a kilim rug, and continue building your room around that.

    Wood Art

    Even if you can live, laugh, and love with the best of them, it’s time to take those words off the wall. All the text art hung in the home that’s meant to be positive just turns out to be a little cheesy.

    Kitchen Islands

    The experts are now saying that clients are looking to abandon the kitchen island.  We don't blame them! Let's be honest, they are pretty easy to run into in the middle of the night. Instead of the missing island, try situating the dining table closer to the kitchen.

    Gray Everything

    Neutral colors have been the go-to for so long they have started to feel tired out. 2019 is set to be all about the warmer tones - think sandy tones. Designers are moving away from the dull palette, and into colors that give the room a relaxing feel without boring your guests.

    Fur

    We know Game of Thrones makes you feel like heading to the nearest Hobby Lobby and picking up a white fur throw. Stop now. Organic textures have overthrown the fur trend of 2018. Consider items that give you a home-made feel. This can be anything from a hand-sewn quilt to wicker-lounge chairs.
